And it's G2 interval Ahsan/Kevin 11-4. I think Djarum could take a breather here, Ahsan/Kevin are still their strongest asset.
Match is over in 24 minutes. After Kevin playing exactly like how he looked like (a year 7 kid) after G2 interval Will we see Ahsan/Kevin vs Hendra/Marcus soon?
Unusual to see kevin made some defensive mistake like in this game. also, did anyone notice that kevin rarely lifting it cross when he forced to lift ? I think sometimes he need to trust his partner more and just lifting it cross to make it less predictable for the opponent.
I think he was sort of just playing it easy in this match. The only time I sensed him playing really seriously was at the end of G2 yesterday.

Well, he was doing just fine making mistakes on a few questions. It would be weird if he could answer all those correctly.
How old is ahsan ? 30 ? 31 ? he still so good. I think kevin need to play it a bit more safe when he's playing with ahsan, just block the shuttle more and force the lift, ahsan's smash are so lethal and steep despite not being the tallest of athlete. hopefully we could see ahsan/kevin vs marcus/hendra tomorrow.
